Here's an interesting thought. Does L*ney primarily deal with shame (heart) or fear (head)? Does he seek to have an identity (heart) or security (head)?

To elaborate a bit more, this is some information about the heart/feeling triad:

This is some information about the head/thinking triad:

The thing with L*ney is that both descriptions can apply to him. It's just which applies more?

For instance, L*ney presents a false identity to the world. He hides who he is because he does not want to be perceived as weak. He wants to be relied on. A big part of his lore is trying to be the big brother L*nette deserves.

On the opposite hand, L*ney is extremely anxious. He pushes himself out there and to do things when in reality he's scared and insecure. Only when he's supported by his family he's able to calm down. Without this support he loses all ability to think clearly. He's lost.

Here's what I'm deciding between:

Type 3 (heart/feeling)

Type 6 (head/thinking)

Or Type 7 (head/thinking)

The odd thing is that the description for type 3 matches the most, but as a whole, I can't help but feel that fear and anxiety (head) are more a core part of L*ney's personality and struggles than shame (heart). Proving his worth (heart) seems to matter less to him than ensuring his security—his family (head).

So I'm caught at a loss.
